Day 3 | Nikon Tour Chapel Hill | NIKKOR Z LENS DAY

Take your skills further at an advanced photography workshop at the beautiful Beautiful Together Animal Sanctuary.

Join Tamara Lackey for a free, hands-on session designed for experienced photographers looking to refine their craft and expand their creative toolkit. This workshop goes beyond the basics, focusing on intentional composition, working with dynamic natural light, and capturing powerful, story-driven imagery in real-world conditions.

Set across an inspiring 83-acre sanctuary, you’ll photograph at-risk rescue animals while exploring advanced techniques like subject isolation, depth of field control, and adapting quickly to unpredictable moments. With Tamara’s guidance, you’ll push your creative boundaries and elevate the emotional impact of your work.

You’ll have the opportunity to shoot with Nikon Z5II, Z6III, and Z8 cameras, paired with an extensive selection of 15 different lenses available for hands-on trial. Experiment with a wide range of focal lengths and styles—from portraits to action to environmental storytelling—so you can discover the gear and techniques that best match your vision. Lens options include: Nikkor Z 24-50mm, Nikkor Z 16-50mm, Nikkor Z 24-200mm f/4-6.3 VR, Nikkor Z 24-70mm f/2.8 S, Nikkor Z 14-24mm f/2.8 S, Nikkor Z 50mm f/1.4, Nikkor Z 35mm f/1.4, Nikkor Z 50mm f/1.8 S, Nikkor Z 35mm f/1.8 S, Nikkor Z 85mm f/1.8 S, Nikkor Z 24-120mm f/4, Nikkor Z 35mm 1.2, Nikkor Z 50mm 1.2, Nikkor Z 85mm 1.2, Nikkor Z 70-200mm f/2.8 S
